1:00- How are you enjoying this mild summer? Do you think it’ll heat up?
Across southern Ontario this summer we have seen several warm days, but we have not had an extended period of hot weather. In fact, the temperature at Pearson airport reached 30ºC just once so far during the month of July. In the GTA, our average temperature for the month of July is running about a degree below the long term averages.

Vice.com decided to use the Google Trends application to dig deep into the online searches of Canadians so far this year.
Google Trends allows users to look back at how popular certain search terms have been since 2004. The search starts with the global results, but can be pared down to cities and sorted by years. Most provinces and territories had some risque topics such as free porn, strippers, and masturbation in their top searches. Ontarians were “predictable” with plenty of searches for rapper Drake, singer Justin Bieber, political parties, the phrase “how to murder” and autopsy photos. Ontarians were also the most likely in the country to search for ways to cheat on their partners or hire an escort. Manitoba offered a “truly bizarre list” of top searches that included poison, Rick Mercer, twerking, gangs, rough sex and sniper.
